Some of the world’s largest offshore consultants licensing LimitState:GEO are reporting major productivity gains using this innovative limit analysis software application:

• Reports are that tender support calculations can be done in a quarter of the time compared to when using the conventional combination of hand calculations and 2D FEA.
• Permanent design: factor of two time savings can be realised using LimitState:GEO for ‘prototyping'. Users can also gain a rapid understanding of the problem, leading to more informed discussions with colleagues in the early stages of the design process and to a more focused detailed design stage.
• Temporary works: rapid speed of calculation using LimitState:GEO allows efficient, workable designs to be developed in short timeframes, avoiding more expensive solutions or costly delays.

In short, by integrating LimitState:GEO into their design process, offshore consultants are reporting that they are gaining new insights into their designs AND are reaping benefits in terms of productivity.
